Does anyone expect problems crossing border into USA?
 
I know discretionary air travel to USA is open from Canada, but I really am having trouble finding reports of people going (and clearing preclearance). Does anyone expect problems crossing border into USA?

I've done it, but I have a green card and GE, so I'm not sure my experience is useful. They know you're coming from a safe place, and they want tourism, so I would expect a few more questions than usual, but not much more than that.

i just did it, and got a new TN visa's while at it. It went better than usual as there is no one around, no lines to wait for. probably a record in terms of speed, efficiency, and questions asked. The CBP officers seem happy to have folks come and pass the time.
Very weird seeing the transborder part of the airport essentially empty.

I have done it twice, both times via preclearance. No problem whatsoever.

I did it yesterday. Was a ghost town. Requirements to fly south to USA have not changed due to covid. The main drawback is the required 14-day quarantine upon returning to Canada.
